The REAL treasures among the legendary 60's band, The 1910 Fruitgum Company, weren't their bubblegum hits (of course, they were great!); they were the ALBUM CUTS, the songs the band WANTED to represent their sound, but weren't allowed to because of their record company (Buddha Records). The Fruitgum's founding member, FRANK JECKELL joins us on this edition of Steve Ludwig's Classic Pop Culture (from PlanetLudwig.com) as he chooses some very cool 1910 album cuts - psychedelic, hippie, & rock songs - that are certainly not bubblegum! Of course, we'll hear the hits (because we love 'em, too)...Frank also puts to rest the many urban myths about The 1910 Fruitgum Company (such as, they weren't a real band, a studio band performed their songs ~ BUNK! And Joey Levine, a studio session singer, sang all their hits. More BUNK! [Although Frank and Joey are friendly with each other.]) Great fun, great visuals, and great (some hilarious) behind-the-scenes stories from our guest, Frank Jeckell. Enjoy! #1910FruitgumCompany #sixtiesmusic #bubblegummusic #FrankJeckell #SimonSays #123RedLight #IndianGiver #classicpop #PlanetLudwig #classicpopculture #SteveLudwig
